60p audio confusion

[CamVega]

Hi, My HVX and FS-100 are on their way, but i'm a little confused about 60p recording.

Does the HVX record audio when in 60p mode?
I keep seeing it doesn't record audio when over/undercranked, is there a specific over/undercranking mode?

Just been shooting for two days at 720p60 and have great audio.

Hey Camvega,

i did reaylly few in hd until now(cause we cant really edit it well until now in pal countries), but i think you just have to see in which modus you shoot the 60p:

If you wanna have the effort of 60p slow motion, then you will shoot in 720pn 60f (which is for maximum overcrank in ntsc country) , that means that the HVX WOUNT record any Audio at all!!



So i think you have to know that, you will find this in the manual as well if you download it!

[CamVega]

So if i'm understanding this right...
You can shoot in 720/60p and get audio fine
and you can shoot in 720/30p over crancked to 60 with no audio
and those are 2 seperate recording modes?

What would be the advantage of the overcranking mode?

Correct.


What would be the advantage of the overcranking mode?
Film-style frame-accurate slow motion.

So am I going to notice a difference between overcranking to 60p on a 30p record as opposed to recording in 60p and slowing the footage to 50% in post on a 30p timeline?

[Barry_Green]

Yes, there'll be a huge difference. Slowing down footage in post is over. The quality of the slow-mo will be quite superior if you shoot the footage that way in the first place.

[CamVega]

I'm still not getting this

60p is 60p, isn't it?
The frame rate is still there, and that's what makes for the good slow motion, playing a 60p clip at half speed would be 30p.

You'll have to be a lot more detailed as to the "why" if my techie brain is to understand it. :P

[Barry_Green]

Well, if you're talking about direct frame-to-frame, then yes. I thought you meant shooting 30p and slowing it down 50% to simulate what 60p acquisition would look like.
